I wonder how many of those practice hours were spent with the offense doing things like…Passing and catching? How many were spent with the Offensive line and running backs? Lets face it, If the holes are there I could run for 4 to 5 yards a carry! How many hours with the defense practicing Tackles? The Cleveland Browns show a total lack of fundamental football every week! I played 6 years in grade and high school, I never, NEVER, tried to tackle a back or receiver by hitting him with my shoulder! The Offense…..come on! Catch the dam ball. If the players could just execute simple toss and catch plays they might find themselves in the end zone! This isn't rocket science! Run the play, do your part and make the opponent stop you, not, you stop yourself by failing to execute the simplest of plays…
OK, I feel better, Come on browns, when I played I loved to practice, I was constantly trying to improve my game, and that meant hard work and long hours, but it was doing what I loved to do! Also the guys I played with were and some still are my best friends!
Maybe if you Highly paid professionals can remember what you were like when you were hungry, you might see your experience now with a new fresh perspective! P.S. A few of the browns are still hungry and it shows every week!

I would not consider signing Larry Johnson under any circumstances.

This story is symbolic of all that is currently wrong with the Browns. First, you have Lewis who is not a character guy by any means (yet a co-captain) airing c0mplaints to the press and then acting as if the press misquoted him. Then you have Mangini acting as if they had a good conversation and he has good conversations with players all the time. Really? They both should go. Mangini reminds me of a mix of Bellechik (without the talent) and Gruden (without the talent). Gruden had the same deceitful ways here in Tampa which is why he is gone and his players hated him. His one superbowl was purchased on Tony Dungy's check not his own. I just can't understand how Mangini keeps his job. By any measure he is a complete failure. When you have team Captains complaining to the press then you've lost the team. When you are 1-7 then you've lost the team. When you can't decide on QBs then you've lost the team. What positive result can Mangini point to as a result of his being hired here? Zero. That is why he should be fired and Lewis should be released today.

Commn on Man !! 6 hrs a week , 3 days a week ! Lewis and the rest should stop crying and maybe work a little hard!!!! Imagine if he had to work a real job , in a coal mine or steel mill for 30 or 40 years. No wonder they are losing A bunch of over paid whiners. Lewis should leave this year and save us all from his whining.
